ALZIEU RODRIGUES : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2021, ALZIEU RODRIGUES achieves revenue of 650 k€. Over the period 2017-2021, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +5.8%. Slight decline of -4% vs 2020. After deducting consumption (279 k€), gross margin stands at 371 k€, i.e. a rate of 57%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 82 k€, representing 12.6% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-4%), EBITDA varies by -25%, reducing margin by 3.4 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This level of operating margin is satisfactory for the sector. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 60 k€, i.e. 9.2% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 6%. This very low level reflects a solid financial structure, offering significant room for future investments or acquisitions. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 62%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 0.2 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 10.6% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 228.74. Concretely, the company has €2 of liquid assets for every €1 of short-term debt: no cash risk within 12 months. The interest coverage ratio (= EBIT / Interest expenses) is 0.3x. Danger: operating income does not cover interest charges, unsustainable situation.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 5 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 50 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 45 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 19 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. WCR is negative (-1 days): operations structurally generate cash. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-111%), freeing up cash.
